Fit first

The shoe that goes on without a fight.

If you have ever had to wrestle a slip-on over the top of your foot, R01 was made for you. Fit is the whole idea, so we measure it, publish it and stand behind it.

  1. 01

    Room over the bridge

    Most slip-ons pinch where the foot is tallest. R01's last and opening are cut for a high instep, and we will publish the instep girth for every size in millimetres.

  2. 02

    Sized in millimetres

    Measure your foot on a sheet of A4, tell us the length, and we recommend a size from measured insole lengths, not a conversion chart.
